New toys!

My two CRT monitors have officially been retired. Their replacements came in the mail today. :D

Here's my new setup:

I'm VERY happy.

Nice.

My brand-spanking-new LCD died yesterday :( Need to find something to take its place now.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - what a computer !!!!!! :)

edit// - twey = ahhh man you must be crying on the inside and must be very angry !!! (i understand your feeling) :)
edit// - blake = how proud are ya :), how much the whole thing cost ?

The monitors set me back $500 ($460 once I send in the mail-in rebates). As for the rest of the system... I've kind of built it in pieces, upgrading one part at a time over the past 5 years. I have no idea how much the current configuration cost.

Wo thats expensive - whats your income as a teacher i am guessing around 15,000 - 25,000 a year ...?

Er... I think you're seriously underestimating what a qualified job makes :)

I only teach 60% time, but I think my pay is based on a 25 - 30k salary for a full time position. I'm not doing it for a whole year, though. I started at the beginning of the winter trimester (after Thanksgiving). Next fall, I'm off to graduate school.

Muhahahahahahah (:mad: - mburt - see no undertimation !!! :)
blake - good for you (good version :))

Hmm... undertimation. You mean underestimaton?
And yes, a full-blown teaching job around here (I didn't realize Blake was only doing part-time) is about 80 000 CAD a year.

There's nothing like Half Life 2 at 2560 x 1024:
